Need For Nanotoxicological Assessment - A Review
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmaceutical Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
The novel characteristics specific to nanomaterials have led to many new applications. The property of NMs is unique as they differ significantly from their microcrystalline counterpart. These properties offer great opportunities for the development of new industrial applications increasing their worldwide distribution. Widescale commercial exploitation also enhances the likelihood of their environmental and human exposure. In this regard, nanotoxicology and nano-risk have been attracting the increasing attention of toxicologists and regulatory scientists, particularly in relation to the unique properties of NPs that may render them potentially more dangerous than their micro-sized counterpart and may cause unexpected adverse health effects to exposed people However, there are also concerns arising on the potential health and environmental impacts of such nanomaterials. There are several pathways that includes air, water and land borne pathways leading to exposure of such nanomaterials to living systems. Therefore, it is articulated that prerequisite of nanotoxicological assessment is the need of the hour. This review provides international status on studies relating to nanotoxicological assessment and factors of nano-bio interactions within biological systems.
